A thunderous cacophony of cheers and clapping resounded through the arena at the announcement of Marcus and Mrazivý's victory. For those who had not panicked and fled when Mrazivý used her draconic form, they had gotten to witness a truly breathtaking battle. Even during the tournaments of the Muharib Festival, it was rare to see such an astounding match. Especially one so far away from the finals.
At this point, the crowd was almost feverously excited about Marcus and Mrazivý's prospects. Zilre and Igna were guests of the Sulb Clan that had done well in last year's tournament, and frontrunners expected to make it to at least the quarter finals as they had before.
Yet now these two extremely powerful fighters had been knocked out of the tournament in only the third round, by a pair that were participating in the festival for the first time and relatively unknown.
